UK trailer for horror-thriller Rent-a-Pal starring Wil Wheaton and Brian Landis Folkins

October 22, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

Lightbulb Film Distribution has released a UK trailer for writer-director Jon Stevenson’s retro horror-thriller Rent-a-Pal which stars Brian Landis Folkins as a lonely bachelor who discovers a strange VHS tape hosted by the charming Andy (Wil Wheaton), which offers him some much needed friendship, until he realises the companionship it provides comes at a sinister cost; watch it here…

Set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his aging mother (Kathleen Brady). While seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called ​Rent-A-Pal.​ Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton), the tape offers him much-needed company, compassion, and friendship. But, Andy’s friendship comes at a cost, and David desperately struggles to afford the price of admission.

Rent-a-Pal is set for release in the UK on Digital Download on November 16th.
